A mobile home belonging to Stanley Barrett of Gridley was destroyed by a large pine tree Monday morning at 6 a.m., in the Butte View Mobile Home Park. Barrett was awakened by a horrific crash with the roof coming down next to his bed, barely escaping injury. Barrett grew up in Gridley and has lived in his parents former home since the mid-1970's. He is pictured with the fallen tree in the background, (that also brought down the tree behind Barrett),which is as tall as he is as it lays in his yard. The Gridley Electric Department responded to disconnect electrical service to the home and with CAL-Fire.
